The event celebrates emerging talents and established leaders, recognising cultural impact and visionary thinking across fashion and design.

One of this year’s major recognitions includes The Pandora Style Moment of the Year Award, set to honour Sam Woolf for his influential contributions to unforgettable style moments across fashion and entertainment.
